I made a little progress today...
- Swapped the water pump out. It was not bad but it had 45k miles on it.
- Upgraded to an 88deg thermostat
- Changed Spark Plugs (NGK BKR6EQUP)
That is all I completed today but I did make progress tearing things apart.
- Pulled Radiator
- Removed upper intake manifold to get to idle control valve
- Removed oil filter housing for gasket replacement
- Removed plastic coolant fitting on block (it was not leaking but it came off in 2 pieces... so I got lucky)
I decided to replace the radiator, coolant hoses, and the plastic fitting. I figured I might as well take a few extra steps in the name of reliability while I'm in there fixing the oil filter housing leak. __________________
